there is no doubt in my mind there is no civil rights struggle going on this country to make sure that poor people have lawyers. but it's something i really didn't understand when i started as a public defender. i started in a well resource office with manageable case loads and i was able to give clients with a gideon vision and then i moved to georgia for the statewide public defenders system in georgia and then i moved to new orleans in the wake of katrina to help rebuild that office and started to see what i experience nd dc was the exception and not the rule. for example i remember walking into a courtroom in new orleans, very first time ever walked into a courtroom in new orleans and there were people everywhere. people in suits you didn't know who the defenders were, you didn't know who the prosecutors were and you knew who the clients were because they were shackled on the seats. the judge started calling names and in the next second he would call another name and you heard voices, that would be the voice speaking for the person. a lawyer never stood next to the client and then

the durable, cloth-like picker-upper. >>> the birth of the civil rights movement. in many ways, it happened 65 years ago today. on july 26th, 1948, president harry truman signed an executive order to end racial segregation in the u.s. armed forces. take a look at the headline that day. "president truman wipes out segregation in armed forces." black soldiers who fought and died for their country were now preparing for a different war here at home. what followed were the marches on washington, the voting rights act, and the end of the so-called era of separate but equal. and today we have our first african-american attorney general. and though we have much more work to do, we see progress every day in our first african-american president. but much progress was made possible by harry truman's executive order. joining me now is rawn james jr., the author of the new book "the double v: how wars, protest, and harry truman desegregated america's military." thanks for being here. >> thank you for having me, reverend sharpton. >> you called this the start of the civil right
